Does the light really go out when we close the door? From the early icebox to the modern built-in frost-free stainless steel double door works of art, refrigerators have improved greatly over the years, and we seldom think about them until they don't work right. From cleaning methods to repairs, this category is the place to get advice and answers to your questions about refrigerators.

What makes the refrigerator door close automatically?
Most refrigerator doors have a magnetic strip around there inside edge (often inside spongy plastic or rubber) this is attracted to the metal inside (or another magnet) and the door closes due to the attraction between the metal and the magnet.

This food will only last a few days. 3 days in the refrigerator if the food is stored properly. Place in an air tight container for the best results. You can transfer the food to the freezer if longer storage is needed.

Is it wise to keep ammo in the refrigerator?

What size is a kenmoore refrigerator model?
They come in a variety of sizes from 2.5 cubic feet up to around 18 cubic feet.
Not necessarily. It depends on the model. If it has separate thermostats for the refrigerator and freezer sides, it may work properly. But, if it only has one thermostat, and the room temperature stays lower than the thermostat setting, the compressor will never come on. Eventually, the whole thing will reach room temperature, which may be above freezing (bad for food in the freezer) or below freezing (could be bad for stuff in the fridge).
This is a well-known problem for people who keep a refrigerator in the garage.
What some people do is disable the door switch so that the light stays on in the fridge. They'll use the lowest wattage bulb they can find--just enough to warm the 'fridge side enough to get the compressor to kick in every once in a while, which will also keep the freezer side frozen. Frigidaire makes a heater kit that serves the same purpose.
Even if you do get the compressor to kick in, operating a fridge in cold temperatures could be bad for it. The oil in the compressor can become thick, leading to premature compressor failure.
Check the owner's manual. It should tell you the minimum operating temperature for your make and model.
Is the temperature in a refrigerator constant or does it vary throughout the fridge?
The temperature will vary throughout the fridge, particularly after a fresh load is added. But even in 'steady state', the upper of the container will be warmer than the lower. For cold air sinks by virtue of its higher density.
It varies. It will be colder at the bottom than at the top. The temperature difference will only be 1 or 2 degrees at most.... Incidentally - the word is 'does' - not 'dose' !
What is the function of overload protector in refrigerator?
The bimetallic overload protector is mounted in series with the motor windings. Should the current in the motor windings increase to a dangerous value, the heat developed by the passage of the current through the protector will cause it to open. This breaks the circuit to the motor windings and stops the motor before any damage can occur.
What compounds are used in refrigerators?
The compound used in older refrigerators was Chloroflurocarbons which is commomly called as CFC's and the recent ones uses compounds of florides and Hydroflurocarbons which is commonly called as HFC's. CFC's are replaced by HFC's due to their reactivity with the Ozone layer and causes depletion.
Hope this helps.

What is the average cost to run a refrigerator for a day?
assuming a cost of .15 per kWh and that a 10 year old fridge uses 8kWh per day, the cost per day is about $1.20.
How do you fix a refrigerator door that has dropped?
PUT IT INTO the slot and tighten it with screws. that's it
Will stabiliser of 200 VA rating run refrigerator of 300 liters?
No, 300 litres must be capacity 1000 watts and will probably need a stabiliser of 1500 VA or 1.5 KVA. Consult the refrigerator makers.
What is the gas used in refrigerator for cooling?
The gas commonly used in refrigerators for cooling is called refrigerant. Common refrigerants include HFC-134a, R-410A, and R-22. These refrigerants are circulated through the system to absorb heat from inside the refrigerator, cool it down, and release the heat outside.
What temperature should a refrigerator freezer be?
Assuming you mean the internal temperatures, the Fridge compartment should be about plus 5 deg C and the Freezer compartment about Minus18 deg C.
How does a fridge keep food from going mouldy?
Bacteria and fungi don't like living at such cold temperatures, just like us.
By keeping food at <4 degrees, the survival of these species is significantly inhibited, so they don't grow and reproduce as quickly as they would in normal conditions.
Where is the model number on GE refrigerator?
We put it on the sticker inside of the fridge. I'm not sure for other manufacturers who produce for GE.

Is there any difference in the kitchenaid refrigerators model kfil27cxms and kfis27cxms?
kfil27cxms is a lowes model number, kfis27cxms is akithen aid model number. Kitchen Aid sometimes makes refrigerators to Lowes specifications.
What is a metering device on a refrigerator?
A metering device on a refrigerator is usually a capillary(cap)tube. It is a very small copper line located somewhere between the condenser coils (outside-hot) and the evaporator coils (cooling coils). It reduces the pressure of the refrigerant coming from outside as it enters the evap coils inside. Refrigerant cools under low pressure thus cooling desired inside area when air is blown across the cold coils. Think of a kinked garden hose and how on the spicket side of the hose the pressure is great, but on the other side the pressure is decreased. That is basically the purpose of a metering device.
